Events

It's that time again!
Based on the popular television series of the 1990s, this event will make us all into daring detectives, stealthy sleuths and ingenious impressarios! Last year, this event was quite popular, so I'm bringing it back for another round!

Winnipeg is abound in Mystery Caches and many of us are intimidated to tackle them on our own.

Read the description below for more details and information on the blinky contest.

Will the world really end on December 21, 2012 at 5:12am CST?
Believe it or not, an amazing 1 in 7 people believe the world will be coming to end. Studies actually show that we may be around for another 5,000 years or so yet.

Come one come all to our 7th annual potluck holiday gathering where we will have a gift exchange and chat about our favourite topic: caching! Everyone is welcome to attend and as an added bonus, you can log it as a find!

To quote Dragonfreys circa 2007, "A good potluck rule of thumb is to bring enough in the dish to feed your family if that is all they ate.

We have reserved the VIP area which is located on the left side upon entering.
Wings and dry ribs are on special for only $6/lb.

This year we would like to try to start a new tradition by having those who attend write down one or two geocaching goals for the year. Next January we will take a look at who completes them and will have a draw for prizes!

Sudden change in plans! Foxy'z Bistro is closed. We will meet for dinner at Mum's Family Restaurant on McDonald Avenue west off 26th Street. Time is still 6:00 pm. Coordinates are N 49 51.091 W 099 59.170.

Come in from the cold!

Have you found a cache lately? Have you placed a cache lately? Winter seems to slow the flow for geocaching. We have challenged ourselves to place at least one more winter friendly cache before the end of February and we hope that will help to reignite the fire of your desire to cache. Perhaps you, too, can add a cache for others to find.

Show your winter spirit by joining us for this day of geocaching fun for beginners and novices.
- treasure hunt using your GPS (or a training unit that will be available)
- learn how to geocache
- enter for great prizes
- New cache to be released
- 1st opportunity to find/or buy the first ever Dauphin Geocoin
More event details to be added in the coming weeks along with more winter fun activities!

This event will take place outside at the Parkland Recreation Complex in Dauphin.

Join us for an afternoon of family friendly fun with a round of mini-golf! We have booked a private room that includes use of a couple pool tables and there will be cake, of course! Food and beverages are available to be purchased from the establishment.

Spring and the melting snow reveal the need for a bit of cleaning in the parks and other green spaces around us. As geocachers, we enjoy these public spaces and we take some responsibility for their maintenance. "Cache in trash out" means leaving an area better than we found it. Join us at the community Earth Day celebration in Princess Park to sign the event log and then grab a garbage bag and go to work on the public space of your choice.

Please come join the MBGA to help clean up this park!
It has also been chosen by the board for Adopt-a-Park through the City of Winnipeg!
